Zhaan didn't seem to notice the magpie at all. Or perhaps he was just nonchalant. Haha. I've seen 1 attack a cyclist once on my way to work. It was swooping & pecking at his helmet & he was trying to cycle & wave it away at the same time. Another time I saw a duck attack a man. I don't know if he provoked the duck but he stumbled onto the road right into the path of the car in front of us. That was a close call. These birds can be quite dangerous.

The magpies usually go for Zhaan as she is the bigger dog, I think. She is quite used to them and ignores them. I used to cycle to work (which was close to home, about 5 km) and have been attacked many times. They come and hit the helmet with either the beak or a wing. Many such videos on YouTube, by the way.
